The SCPD Online Reporting System is a tool to assist SCPD with solving crimes. Reports that include detailed descriptions, serial numbers (crucial for bikes) and other valuable property information are important. When provided the brand, model, and serial numbers, the SCPD Team is able to list and quickly identify missing property in our stolen property systems. That information is then accessible by SCPD Officers in the field.

Success Story with SCPD Online Reporting System

This man lost his wallet and eventually got it back. He used the SCPD Online Reporting System to make a quick report on 3/22/16. Perfect timing….because on 3/23/16 an alert SCPD Officer arrested John Walkenbach for an outstanding bench warrant on another matter. In Walkenbach’s possession was the wallet and credit cards of our visitor. The online report included essential details so that the arresting officer could quickly connect the wallet back to the owner. In the short time the wallet was missing, a new cell phone was fraudulently purchased on one of the credit cards. Mr. Walkenbach went to jail with the added charge of theft.Thanks for taking the time to fill out an online report.
